25.

Tsuki lay on her beloved friend; her eyes watered with sadness, her sorrow echoed the cavern walls and fell into the river. They had the pack in a cave prepared for them by the Natives. The wise woman sat by Hana's head, slowly chanting a funeral song. The Pack starred down at Hana, all with tears in their eyes. Kiba sighed and after the ceremony was complete he walked out. He didn't want to deal with this again, but he wanted badly to make it to Paradise. He couldn't remember what happened afterwards. He growl and banged his hands against a rock wall.

'I hate them so much; I just want this to be simple. Travel, make it Paradise, that's it!'

He leaned his head against the rock, his fists pushing into the cold stone. The air was still and calm, except with Hana's death, which crept over everyone's heart. He felt a hand grip his shoulder and he spun to face Tsume.

"Hey, you alright?"

"Eh, fine, just thinking…" his sea colored eyes seemed darker than usual. Tsume grunted.

"Thinking? Doesn't sound much like you."

Tsume glared at him with his yellow eyes. Kiba smirked.

"Glad to have you back, Tsume."

Tsume smiled and leaned against the rock, "humph. Now tell me."

Kiba nodded, "I was thinking about our past lives, doing the same thing. Do you remember it, Tsume?"

Tsume looked up to the sky for second then to Kiba, "I remember Darcia, fighting him then nothing else. We probably met up in Paradise."

Kiba shrugged and looked up to the sky, "yes… Paradise, we're so driven to find it, but why?"

"It's our nature; we're born this way, to search for it. In some way, we are like Gods, the invisible things that humans worship… us beginning the world, and end the world. That's how it's written."

"Why do we die? Why must we feel this eternal pain?"

Tsume just starred at him, he couldn't answer, and he didn't answer. He turned and walked away. Kiba sighed.

"Kiba?"

He turned to see Tsuki, the crescent shape on her forehead shinning brightly. She hugged him, "Kiba, come on, let's go tomorrow we'll run."

He sighed and wrapped his arms around him, "I'm sorry," he whispered in her ear.

She looked up at him, "it wasn't any of our faults, and it's our destiny…"

"Destiny…" a thought sparked in his mind and he reached into his pocket pulling out a ripped parchment.

Tsuki looked at it and gasped, "The missing section!" she cried with joy and hugged him tightly and kissed him. He smiled and they walked together to the group's cave.

Cyan and Hige took a walk around the caverns, exploring their new land. Hige was of course sniffing around for a delectable meal while Cyan looked around admiring the scene. Hige noticed a deep sadness in her crystal blue eyes.

He sighed, "Cyan… will you be alright?"

She turned to look at him. She forced a small smile, "of course."

Hige wanted to tell her how much he loves her but he knew that she didn't feel the same way.

"Cyan, I …," he stopped and scratched the back of his head trying to think of the words. She stopped to look back at him, waiting intently for him to say whatever he was going to say.

"Um… I, uh…"

Hige saw a rock fall just a few feet above her head, "look out!" He jumped at her and pushed her away from the big rock. They landed with a thud and Cyan rubbed the back of her head and looked at Hige, who was panting.

"You ok?"

She smiled and gave him a soft kiss on his cheek, "yep."

He blushed and got off quickly, "um... Yea…"

"Hige, thank you for saving me, and I feel the same way about you."

Hige chuckled and Cyan kissed him, Hige froze, his body relaxed and he embraced her and she embraced him.
